Thanks for the info...but I was reading that the neons get a dease...how often do they get it...would be it be better to get cardinals or another tetra

Thanks again

Other tetras can get Neon Tetra Disease too. It was just discovered in Neons or something. Did you want to breed the Guppies or not?

I was thinking about it...my wife loves guppies...besides, a lfs buy's fry for store credit...so i might do that and possibly get a bigger tank...my goal is 150gal sometime.
